nikko smith in concierto

A few American Idol stars have come from Missouri, including last season's David Cook from KC. But the artist closest to home out of the seven seasons so far has been Nikko Smith, who performed at SCC last night. When I got my sneak peek of the set list beforehand (thanks, KP, for the media pass), I'll admit I was a bit intrigued... Carrie, Marvin, Chili Peppers, Usher... He pulled off some amazing covers (and did a great job mixing them in among his own work from his Revolution album). Of course, you can always check Nikko out on MySpace.
